All of the above network IP cameras claim that they only support Windows (no Mac OS X) but they do indeed work with Macs. (That is what we use them with.) The problem is that they do require Windows to do the initial setup to get them connected to your network.We have now developed a utility which can do the initial setup for the AirLink cameras (and others) from a Mac or iOS device: http://skjm.com/ipcamconfig/ Once they are on your network, you can access them with a Mac.

There may be IP cameras that can be setup without Windows, but we haven't personally used or come across any. There are online guides to setting up various "Windows-only" cameras on a Mac, but they are more cumbersome than if you had a Windows machine available, or Windows running in Parallels or VMWare Fusion on your Mac:

Do you have any updated recommendations for IP cams? My three LNE 3003 cams freeze when using Icame Source after 3-12 hours.They work fine forever when I do Not use Icamsource . My wired Logitech also works fine with Icamsource with no freezing up. I'm using all updated software for everything and the LNE 3003 just don't work. (2.1.6 in use).

Those cameras do work with Macs, but they don't come with setup software for Macs. Most Wi-Fi cameras only come with Windows setup software. You can still get it working with just a Mac, but it's a little more difficult than on Windows. Usually, Wi-Fi cameras are set up to grab an IP from the router using DHCP. The main thing you need to figure out is the IP address of the camera. You may need to check the list of DHCP clients in your router configuration in order to find out the camera's IP address.

captual - Are you using MJPEG or JPEG mode in iCamSource? If you're using MJPEG mode, try switching to JPEG mode (with the same URL) to see if that has any effect on the behavior.

Sorry switching between MJPEG and JPEG does not help the LNE 3003 cameras. They still Freeze between 2-15 hours. Using 2.1.8 with no problem when using hard wire cam like Logitech HD, then no freezing.Cams are set to: INTERNET/LAN MPEG4 640X480. For video streaming. also tried INTERNET/LAN MJPEG 640X480 with same results of freezing.

captual - When the video is frozen in iCamSource, try copying the MJPEG URL from iCamSource and pasting it into your web browser to see if the browser is able to access the URL. That should help narrow down the cause of the problem.

i have been checking prices and recommendations of the cam's on amazon sites... mixed reviews at best... can you suggest a few camera's that have better reviews? i hate returning stuff that doesn't work. thanks
